1) Boil your dried pasta according to the directions on the package, but be careful to make sure that you 'undercook' it so it is still al dente. It will further cook in the oven.

2) In a skillet, over medium heat, sweat the onions until they are tender and translucent. Then add the ground beef and saute it until it is cooked through, Next add the Mushroom Dust, then add the Tomato Soup and simmer the beef mixture for about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Tast the mixture and adjust the seasonings to your preferences.

3) Combine the fried beef / onion mixture with the cooked egg noodles and mix well to combine all the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings again.

4) Add the beef and pasta mixture to a casserole dish, and sprinkle the top with the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese. Allow the casserole to rest for about a half hour so that it can 'set up' and all the flavors can come together.

5) While the casserole is setting up, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and wrap it with aluminum foil. When the oven is ready, bake the casserole in the 350 degree oven for approximately 45 minutes (covered) then remove the aluminum foil and continue to bake for another 15 - 20 minutes so that the last cheese on top will melt and slightly brown.

So just what is it? Well, Mushroom &quot;Dust&quot; is just that. But it&#39;s more than that, its a blend of mushrooms marinated for long periods of time in a secret marinade that brings out the rich, meaty flavors of the mushroom that makes it the perfect seasoning for stews, roasts, soups, eggs, potatoes and much much more.<br><br>A little goes a long way, just keep it in a pepper shaker and use it as you would any other type of seasoning. It will have your guests wondering just what your secret is. Use it alone, or with a combination of your other favorite herbs and spices.<br><br>Mushroom &quot;Dust&quot; is a custom blend of mushrooms that are marinated in a propriety blend of seasonings for an extended period of time until they are just burting with flavor, and then turned into a &quot;dust&quot; like seasoning. <br>went and found this, it is pricy about $8 per ounce, but its a real spice...<br><br>Batches are generally made about once a month and supplies are limited and on a first come first serve basis.
